Twins: Getting Out And About
One of the most frustrating things I've found about being the mother of twins is that getting out of the house alone with them can be very difficult. I've often longingly thought back to my leisurely outings with my first child and wished life were still that easy now! Nonetheless, however challenging it may be to get out and about with two babies, with a little planning and flexibility, it is entirely possible to go do errands, visit with family and friends, or just get outside for some fresh air.
Getting Ready
Things go much more smoothly when you've got everything you need organized before you start getting your twins ready to go. While the babies are otherwise occupied, check the diaper bag to make sure it has all the things you'll need during your outing, such as a change of clothes, snacks and drinks. Next, get out their coats, shoes, hats or snowsuits, and put them where you will be dressing the babies. If they still travel in infant car seats, put these ready to go by the door or have your stroller just outside. Don't forget about supplies that you'll need to keep yourself happy too, such as a coffee or something to munch on later.
Getting Out
After you change the babies' diapers, get them dressed and into the car seat or stroller, beginning with the twin who is likely to be the most agreeable at that time (the less crying, the better!). If they are out of their infant car seats, you either carry both of them out to your vehicle at the same time (not an easy feat), or leave one in a safe place in the house while you put the other one in the vehicle or stroller first. Be ready for either one or both babies to be madly crying while you do this!
Getting About
Most times you will be using a stroller to transport your twins. Twin strollers and double strollers are readily available these days, which makes it easy for you to find one that suits your family's particular needs. If your main activity will be going for walks or jogs with your babies, you'll need to have either a good double all-terrain stroller or a double jogging stroller. If you will often have to take them along for errands and shopping, then a regular mall double stroller is all you need. A good thing to have with twin infants is a double universal car seat carrier, or stroller frame, which permits you to easily transfer the infant car seats from your house or vehicle without disturbing your babies. There are lots of options out there, so make sure you research what your lifestyle needs are before purchasing a double stroller, since they are more expensive and will need to take double the abuse of single strollers. It will make your outings much more pleasant if your stroller has all the features you really need and want.
Getting Help
If you can, plan to have someone come along and help you from time to time when you go out with your twins. Ask your mother to go shopping with you and the babies, or schedule an outing to the park with a friend. Having an extra pair of hands makes the outing a lot easier and it gives you the opportunity to have some adult conversation for a change!
Getting Real
Unfortunately, there will be some days when you really want to get out of the house with your twins and it just won't be possible without you having a nervous breakdown. Either one baby or both will wake up cranky from their nap and won't settle down, or a feeding might take longer than you thought it would, and so on. There will be some days, however, when you just won't be able to get out of the house, or at least not at the time you had planned to leave. Perhaps a doctor's appointment can't be missed, but a short trip to grandma's can be rescheduled for another day. Take heart by realizing that as your twins get older, this, as well as everything else, will get a lot easier.

I'm going over to very cute twin boys house?
My mom is friends with a woman who has the hottest twin boys and they are the same age as me. Every girl at their school loves them and calls them up 24/7. Well their mom wanted me to come over to their house and play with the twins and meet them face to face. I accepted so i will be over at their house starting next week almost every day which will be great but i am worried the twins might not like me. I am very pretty but i don't think i am good enough for them. What can I do? Also what can we do to entertain ourselves while I'm there?
